Forerunner mining ship

Revision as of 08:40, June 17, 2011 by Tacitus (talk | contribs)

Template:Ship Class Infobox Forerunner mining ships were vessels used by Forerunner Miners. They were used to excavate and carry ore and minerals using an array of grappler, lifters, cutters, and churners on their undersides. They also possessed equipment that allowed them to thoroughly scan areas for useful minerals.[1]

Appearance

The mining ships were noted by Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting to be aesthetically displeasing to the extreme,[1] marking an unusual contrast with the pristine nature of other Forerunner architecture.

Use

At least one mining ship was deployed to Earth in approximately 100,300 BCE by Bornstellar's surrogate family in an attempt to find him.[1] However, the search was soon abandoned either due to the bafflers surrounding Djamonkin Crater or to the area's sacred nature.[2]
